Absent Minded

Metaphor for a politician

You think
i Can't
relate
to you
but this is
what i have to say
I spent four years
in a boot camp
of how to make friends with
dangerous people
who weren't all
upstairs

people who killed their mothers
with an axe
Raped an old lady
or broke into their neighbors house
or some guy who held up several convenience stores
for drugs

Welcome to my level of politics
and how to make global friends
Sure, you might be an alcohholic
or a megalomaniac
you might be irrational
or illogical
perhaps easily angered
but unlike them you are powerfull
sending people to war
like your political global bully friends

In this world
just like a mental institute
you can't go it alone
you must make friends
you must find ways to communicate with people
of every intelligence
delusion
paranoia
fear
or on every high

you may not have a staff of nurses
who offer prescriptions
and doses of isolation if they offend you
or another
but who am i fooling here?
I can relate....
and i learned, even those with small amounts of power over others
abuse it

So now you have to think
about methods to madness
like you're visiting some king
ask yourself why
why don't you share the same dream?
and if they do is there a paranoia as to why
or a trust?
Is there a solid friendshipthere
a companionship to pull through?
together this mental institute of powerfull people
who can command
and kill thousands
just because they want to

In a mental institute
when you make a friend
sometimes you forget
they are an axe murderer
but they are one
making tyhe most sense
sometimes you forget
the ones just sitting there
with no opinion
and avoiding everyone
are better friends

In amental institute
like the political people you will meet
ruling societies full of abused women
and kidnapped raped children
do you befriend them to use them?
to keep safe?
because they are crazy?
and might do something drastic
if they don't get their eccentric way?

Or do you say
I'll have no part of paving your way to hell
I'll offer you help to change
your ways to better your world
to change your dream
and the nightmares your victoms are living
otherwise my aid will go somewhere else?...

In a mental institute
sometimes you get hit
for no reason
by some crazed cracked out hooker
hearing voices
sometimes you playfight
with some drug dealer
you temporarily forgot
who mass murdered 20 people
in cold blood
sometimes you sit on the couch
besides those yalking to themselves
to see if you can get in on the conversation

The people i had to befriend
would have killed me if they knew i was gay
several of them were there
for killing people for their sexuality
the companionships i had in there for 4 years I made
in that controlled environment were dangerous
even though these people were medicated(overly)

Mosy had methods to their insanity or madness
triggers to set them off
and of course i had protection from them
and i asked them deep questions to learn from them

On a political level
you make friends
to get you through
sometimes you need to choose
which crazed lunacy
you want to aid
and form greater bonds with
to heal, to achieve success,
promote growth, and overcome
your own levels of powerfull psychology

In amental institute
everybody has a sickness
a battle of good and evil
memories that haunt them
beliefs and emotions tied to them
open mindedness to certain extents
sometimes feeling like the only sane ones alive
among all the insanity
and on the global scale of political bullies
of political sciences of seeing everything through these eyes
from a mental institute game i taught the patients
to educate myself
you are a forensic patient too
just like every political leader
and all of you belong in amental institute because your megalomania
is a sickness
your god complexes are a sickness
your corruption of man made miracles is an insanity
you belong beside me in the institute of forensics
so i acan teach you the same game i taught those mentally ill
who are now mentally gifted
and understand politics through different eyes!
